Republicans continue to lose the ideological battle in this country.
New poll finds most Americans want government to fight climate change - Yahoo News
While only 18 percent of Republicans said climate change was a very important issue to them — compared to 63 percent of Democrats and 40 percent of independents — 77 percent of respondents overall said the federal government should be taking action to combat global warming.
Cherry picked data, if you read the actual report it's not really as portrayed. Example

And why are we discussing a more than 3 year old study? I guess billy triple nothing couldn't find something more current to spam the board with.
The poll is being "compared" to a poll done in 2011. The poll being talked about was done from Jan 7th to the 22nd this year. It brought up a 2011 poll to show how "more" people think climate change is human caused from then to now (2015).
Here's the current poll being talked about

Yet... there remains not a scintilla of evidence that humanity is causing the planet's climate to 'change'.
But the poll does demonstrate how quickly (just three generations) a culture can be destroyed through the simple tolerance of Left-think, OKA: Trained Idiocy.
